Art UK is an amazing resource, one I had never come across before; I have been going through the L S Lowrey pictures which I think are my favourite of this genre and it is great to see them all in one place – they bring back many memories to one who grew up in the industrial North West of England.

Like all these things, I would imagine that the “fruit” that Milan’s housewives and bakers added to their panettoni were closely guarded family secrets. Nowadays, as the Italian Government strives to give the panettone a DOP certification, the additions have been standardized: raisins – dry and not soaked! – as well as the candied zests of orange, lemon, and citron (the last of which I have written about in an earlier post).
